every now and then i remember the time a few years ago, when sdmi fandom first had its revival thanks to netflix, when a wildly popular sdmi blog run by an anti said the words 'perfectly good Black woman' in reference to why you should ship [man you could easily read as white, whose arc she was fridged for] with her instead of [hatesink character whose race is ambiguous due to being a furry, but has a BLISTERINGLY antiblack narrative under a thin layer of fantasy racism, with a fun side of homophobia and holocaust denial the latter of which is directly invoked in the post], which got hundreds of notes, and i grimace my face through the back of my head all over again lmao

spoilers for TLOU Part II but something that never sat well with me was how in one of the flashbacks Joel didn’t have a strong reaction to Ellie nearly getting killed by a bloater. like,,,,,,excuse me? I’m normally up to bat for this game, I am its personal defense attorney until my last breath, but this has always irked me. we’ve seen Joel react to Ellie being put in dire situations prior and the initial response would ALWAYS have a profoundly emotional reaction. remember how he desperately gave Ellie CPR after she nearly drowned? remember how he responded when he was told she would die in the operating room? Joel has almost always helmed that penchant of protectiveness, that protector role, so seeing Ellie amidst any potential threat should elicit that emotional response that defines him. but all he essentially said was “oop that was too close.” THAT WAS YOUR SURROGATE DAUGHTER NEARLY DYING VIA *THAT* DEATH ANIMATION?? HUH?? his protective nature was on display whilst saving her but no where was it present in the immediate aftermath. but it absolutely should’ve
basically what I’m saying is assuming this scene is adapted for season 2 of the hbo series I can picture Pedro “I fail her in my sleep” Pascal putting this to rights. grabbing Ellie into an embrace. breathlessly calling out her name, saying “are you okay, are you hurt” repeatedly. reminiscing the trauma that retroactively formed him as he had nearly lost his daughter all over again. the response should be immediate and emphatic. they are two stray cats that cannot be adopted separately. Joel should always be malleable to the fear of losing her. I hope they cook

Welcome back to the Yuko Lives AU. Today I'm showing the results of messing around with an incorrect quotes generator.
Starring: Majima's usual nonsense, Yuko being sillypilled, and Nishiki's Eternal Suffering as a result.

King Lear may be my least favorite Shakespeare play for a lot of reasons, but I have to say, one part I'm absolutely fascinated with is Edgar's performance as "Poor Tom," because bestie. Bestie. For a crown prince soon-to-be king, you are...terrifyingly good at this madman act. How--how are you so good at this? Have you been practicing? Almost nothing coming out of your mouth makes sense and yet it's...fascinating? Where did this stream of nonsense come from? Are you okay?

of course I would get invested in one more The CW show before the network became a shadow of its former self...
...a show I started watching in season 1... lost track of... have never fully caught up on...but here I am watching new episodes live & catching up on the network's app...
...which is incredibly reflective of my relationship with The WB/The CW shows over the years actually...
Nancy Drew season 4. A fitting swan song so far for the The CW itself, as it was:
Play me that cursed-lovers, slow-burn, long-live-the-friend-group, musical-chairs-of-who's-dating-who, hot-parents-with-backstory, small-town-with-personality, filmed-in-Vancouver, everybody's-beautiful all-of-the-angst-but-also-snarky-one-liners, tune once more, with feeling.
Nobody does it quite like you anymore

hmn thinking about how William is probably the type of guy to like murder boys who tried to hit on Vanessa, not in the "he is just overprotective of his daughter" but more of a "he doesn't want them to get too close to Vanessa & risk her becoming rebellious"

maybe lame but my fav scene towards the end was when it showed william twitching inside the springlock while Goldie's ghost watches, it took me straight back to watching the FNAF 3 trailer drop and watching that stupid rabbit glitching like crazy (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) stupid ass cringe manchild, i love him
